A standard policy is not desirable in my opinion. More subpackages
may allow for better granularity, but the user has to install
and sometime know about more packages. There is also added
packaging complexity. So definitely the packager choice.
There's also more
metadata, so even slower yum (not that you can actually
notice at this point), some people might even think it's a bad idea at the
repository/distribution level.
On the other hand, subpackages are the only way to escape the
infamous "dependency hell" that's still scaring some people away from
Fedora.
